Let the "baby got back" thread begin ...

 

I'd take the Spyder..

 

Especially at the price of the Speedster which is 144000 pounds, likely close to $200000 if sold here.

 

I don't understand the pricing policy over at Stuttgart. Why is this and the SC so expensive, whereas the GTS and Spyder are so reasonable?

 

is it me or is it porsche trying to make a tad too many 911 variants?

 

I am in love. Will wait for a second hand example to show up.... this car has to share garage space with the RS.... I have loved the Speedster since the 1989 model 3.2 Carrera, heck since the 356.....

Thankyou Porsche for finally bringing the Speedster back.... BUT it was supposed to be a stripped out low cost alternative.... not an overpriced limited edition....

 

+1. Seems like a new one every week; literally.

 

Apart from the return of the name and the sentimental feelings it brings, I don't really find this car interesting in any other aspect.
Maybe if I had Porache AG shares I would.

They are hoping you want to collect all 21 versions! I don't really care, as long as they build the ones I like.

Not bad looking...

 

As I said, the special 911 P.Diddy edition is imminent.

And they're only going to make fiddy of 'em.

 

+2. This stinks of VW corporate meddling with Porsche's model lineup.

Seriously there have been too many new 911 variants in the past year alone for comfort: the SC, GTS, GT2RS and now this Speedster. That's not counting the truly limited-run Centurion and other "exclusive" variants.

I honestly feel the 911 brand is being diluted like a cup of McDonald's coffee... commonplace and waterlike... I feel cheated after all these years of support for the brand...

 

Fugly, fugly, fugly.

 

Meh...was hoping for more or different. Nice car for someone that wants a convertible 911, nothing of interest if you already have a 911 (variant).

Anyone else find the design of the rear deck area to be tortured and bulbous? Derivative, profit-driven, parts bin engineering.

Talk to me about the LSD getting fixed. And the flexy brake calipers. And the pop-out water fittings on the engine. That will wake me up.

Sorry, going back to sleep...zzzzzzzz
